Researchers have recreated the eerie calls that echoed through the Jurassic grasslands, steppes and woodlands 165 million ...

Scientists reconstructed Jurassic insect calls and found ultrasound evolved tens of millions of years before bats appeared.

Standing in a tropical forest at night, you might hear what sounds like a small bird calling from high in the canopy. Listen more closely, though, and that “bird” turns out to be an insect with ...

Little is known about the sounds of the natural environment that dinosaurs inhabited millions of years ago in Jurassic forests, or the exact noises some of these creatures made, but scientists just ...

A group of treehoppers sit on a plant stem in University of Missouri Professor Rex Cocroft's lab. Humans can't hear the vibrations these insects use to communicate with, but Cocroft has been able to ...

Do you want to hear what the insects in a Jurassic forest in Mongolia sounded like? Obviously, there were no recording ...

Scientists have used AI, lasers and fossilised wings to reconstruct the likely sounds of insects that lived 165 million years ago, revealing a surprisingly complex Jurassic soundscape.

Furthermore, not all insects emit sounds—such as aphids. And very noisy contexts, like an urban environment, can easily confuse sound-based monitoring efforts. "Automated bioacoustics is a key tool in ...

The sights and sounds of the Jurassic era are long gone, and we will never know for sure what that ancient world looked and sounded like. Fossils can offer clues, and reconstructions can give us a ...

When sawfly larvae are threatened by predators like ants, they emit a cocktail of nasty smells to defend themselves. These secretions can irritate a potential foe's antennae or nose. Scientists ...

Sawfly larvae protect themselves by secreting cocktails of unpleasant, volatile chemicals intended to repel predators, particularly ants. Researchers can assess the effectiveness of these defenses by ...
